  No one cares about their mascot that much, of course. Say hi to Fred and George!

    Eight years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15302279 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15302279 I mean... Its even in the FAQ. It's a question people care to ask.

      > Eight years ago Kind of proves my point. Someone asked a question 8 years ago, that doesn't look like something that has any effect on adoption really.

        The complaint, today, is it doesn't have much adoption. So the question always being around kinda does suggest there's difficulty. Unless it's somehow become widely used?

        When you put it in the FAQ, it's an admission that it's frequently asked, and it kinda preempts any subsequent record of curiosity.
